OK, I have read the FAQ and didnt see the answer for my question so I will ask it.
I have a 94 mazda B4000 2wd totally stock. It sits about 2" lower in the front. It has the stock 14" alum rims and 225 tires that looks SUPER small on there.
I want to put on the Unique 15" Soft 8 steel rims but they are only offered in a 5 on 4.5" backspace in a 15 x 8 wheel. I am wanting to run 235 75 R15 tires without trimming. I am not wanting to lift the truck, just use it as a Daily driver. Can anyone tell me if the 15 x 8" rim with that tire will rub? Pictures would be great if anyone runs that config.

Thanks for putting up with a noob question

My credo
"220, 221, whatever it takes."
Do you mean it sits 2" lower in front than it used to, or that the front sits 2" lower than the rear? :icon_confused:
The rears will fit, the fronts will likely rub but you could use a coil spring spacer I suppose or go with a slightly shorter 235/70-15 tire.

If your just saying the front sits 2" lower than the rear, this is normal--its stock and the 15x8's SHOULD fit. No promises tho. Also it wont hurt to put on spacers regaurdless. But if you mean the front is 2" lower than its supposed to be then umm...you need new coils and in a hurry.
